Lonely Immortal

Liao Qing probably didn't expect these three mid-stage Jindan cultivators to still be here. He was obviously stunned for a moment, but he seemed even more panicked. Fang Silin didn't know what was going on here. When he came out and saw these three mid-stage Jindan cultivators, he instinctively stunned for a moment. In addition, several teammates also appeared. They also seemed stunned when they saw these mid-stage Jindan cultivators.

But they didn't seem to see Zhang Zhiwen, or they really didn't see him. They also seemed very panicked and subconsciously wanted to escape, but these three mid-stage Jindan cultivators didn't let Liao Qing and others leave so easily. Anyway, they saw Liao Qing. As for Fang Silin and others, they just treated them as being in the same group with Liao Qing.

But it's true. Liao Qing was originally in the same group with Fang Silin and others, and so was Zhang Zhiwen. It's just that Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything now. He hid in the corner and no one found him. However, these three mid-stage Jindan cultivators immediately blocked the way of Liao Qing and others.

"You still want to escape?"

"You came out just in time, I was just about to find you!"

"Hand over your stuff!"

The three Jindan mid-stage cultivators were still thinking about the so-called acquired superior Taoist magic. In fact, they just said it casually and used it as an excuse to capture Liao Qing. As for Fang Silin and others, they would also intercept them.

"No, sir, there are monsters behind, you guys run!"

"Yes, run, the monster is coming!"

Liao Qing and Fang Silin shouted almost at the same time, and their expressions were extremely panicked, and they didn't seem to be fake. The teammates following Fang Silin were in almost the same situation. Obviously, the so-called monsters they were talking about should be strange beasts.

Zhang Zhiwen was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that he had encountered strange beasts not long after entering the mine. It seems that there are quite a lot of strange beasts, and these strange beasts must be very good at camouflage? How come they are all exposed here?

However, thinking of the situation of the team leader before, this strange beast seems to be a temporary mutation, not a long-term mutation. If it is a strange beast that has been mutated for a long time, it is afraid that it will not show up easily, because hunting them will get infected Dao Soul Stones, which are good things. Even Zhang Zhiwen thinks that this thing is really a good thing.

Imagine that after refining this thing, it will be a medium-grade or even high-grade Dao Soul Stone. Then, absorbing this Dao Soul Stone can improve the Dao Soul realm. Let alone, if it is improved by one or two levels, then more Dao arts can be released at the same time. The role of this in the battle is self-evident. It was clearly seen just now. If you can sacrifice three Dao arts at the same time, one attack Dao art, one defense Dao art, and another auxiliary Dao art, it is naturally extremely powerful. This is much stronger than being able to practice and release only one Dao art.

Therefore, this infected Dao Soul Stone must be a treasure, but the strange beast is also quite terrifying and extremely powerful. Even if it is a newly mutated strange beast, it can easily kill several cultivators of the same level.

However, the three Jindan mid-stage cultivators didn't know this. They thought that the team leader just mutated and that was just the case. They didn't know that Zhang Zhiwen actually blocked the attack and consumed the power of the Yuanshen. Otherwise, at least one of the three Jindan mid-stage cultivators would have died in this place.

Not only did these three people not know this, they also ignored Zhang Zhiwen and others. Without Zhang Zhiwen, plus the help of six or seven other cultivators, they couldn't take down the strange beast of the team leader, but they didn't think so. They thought it was all their credit.

Sure enough, when they heard that there were strange beasts chasing them from behind, they were not afraid, but excited. They had tasted the sweetness and thought about getting one to try. The benefits of killing strange beasts were too great. They could get Dao Soul Stones, Daoist Secret Books, and quest points. They were so jealous.

"Haha, that's perfect. Don't leave. We are looking for this kind of monster everywhere!"

"Yes, stay here and help me later!"

"Hey, why are you panicking? We just killed one. It's just a strange beast! I was worried that it wouldn't come! It would be great if it came!"

The three Jindan mid-stage cultivators were very confident. They had killed strange beasts before, so they looked very experienced. Liao Qing and Fang Silin didn't expect this to happen. Especially Liao Qing, he found that there was a mess of blood on the ground. It was probably the corpse of the team leader who was killed after mutation.

At this time, they saw Zhang Zhiwen, and Zhang Zhiwen also saw Liao Qing, Fang Silin and others. Since they saw him, Zhang Zhiwen nodded to them. After all, they were just nodding acquaintances at most, so he didn't pretend that he didn't know them at all.

But Zhang Zhiwen nodded, Liao Qing and others misunderstood. They thought that these three Jindan mid-stage cultivators were really powerful and really killed the strange beast with their skills. If that was the case, they would definitely stay. If they ran away, if the strange beast caught up with them, they would be finished.

It's no wonder that Liao Qing and others thought so, because these three Jindan mid-stage cultivators really showed a very confident look. In this case, what else did Liao Qing and others say? They would definitely stay and come directly to Zhang Zhiwen.

The monster followed closely, and the time for everyone to talk just now had passed, which was less than a cup of tea, or even less, and the monster appeared in front of everyone with a whoosh. This monster looked very similar to the team leader, with a hunched body and blood all over his body. It seemed that he had also mutated from the middle stage of the golden elixir.

"Be careful, he went crazy and ate people. Now he has become a mutant. He just mutated not long ago!"

Fang Silin hurriedly reminded him. Seeing him like this, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know whether Fang Silin knew that he actually had an infected breath in his body?

That's right, Fang Silin had an infected breath in his body. This was what Zhang Zhiwen sensed. It is estimated that Fang Silin had come into contact with strange beasts, or had come into contact with infected Dao Soul Stones. Zhang Zhiwen even suspected that Fang Silin had an infected Dao Soul Stone on him. Maybe this is the case. Over time, Fang Silin actually moved closer to the direction of mutation step by step, but Fang Silin himself probably didn't know.

Of course, Fang Silin was fine at the moment, and had not mutated. On the contrary, the monster had just appeared, and it was completely mutated. As soon as this thing appeared, everyone could clearly feel the terrifying and strange bloody smell in the air, and it made people feel extremely depressed, as if there was some invisible force constantly eroding the space and eroding everyone's spirit. Zhang Zhiwen keenly felt that this breath was actually a kind of plague.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't know how they recognized this plague-like thing. This plague-like thing was not a physical infection, but a pure mental pollution. As long as this strange beast appeared, this thing would naturally appear around, and this thing would continue to erode. If the cultivators present were not Jindan cultivators, Zhang Zhiwen was almost certain that soon, the cultivators present would be mentally polluted, and then go crazy, and then they would probably be infected and become strange beasts.

Therefore, it makes sense for Wanxian Island to set up a net of heaven and earth. Otherwise, if this thing is leaked out, it may cause great harm, and even directly subvert the foundation of the entire cultivation world, and the foundation of the cultivation world is the mortal world.

Zhang Zhiwen also thought of the giant corpse he encountered in Feixian City before. He felt vaguely that this might be related to the infection of the plague. Otherwise, how could these ancient giants, the real ancient bloodlines, all disappear? But whether they were like this at the beginning, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know.

But the incident of a huge golden cicada lurking at the bottom seems to explain something. It's not that Zhang Zhiwen suddenly thought of so many things at this time, but he saw this strange beast appear, and he naturally associated it.

Therefore, everything has a cause and effect, and it never appears for no reason. So how did this strange beast come from? How did the infected plague come from? This is another big problem, and it is still a very deadly and important problem.

But generally speaking, Zhang Zhiwen felt that this infection power was not simple and involved a wide range of areas. However, the Great Immortal Realm was still safe at present. Unless the net of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island was broken, the Great Immortal Realm should be fine. As for not having resources to practice, then so be it. It is always better than being killed by such a strange beast, right?

Anyway, Zhang Zhiwen knew that if there were only a few foundation-building cultivators in this place, let alone this monster, these foundation-building cultivators would be directly infected as soon as this monster appeared. As for what would happen if they were infected, Zhang Zhiwen didn't know. Anyway, there would definitely be no good end. Fortunately, all the people present were Jindan cultivators. With the protection of Jindan, it was not easy to be infected like this, but they also felt extremely depressed in their hearts, and instinctively felt fear.

This was Zhang Zhiwen's discovery. He saw Fang Silin and the others were obviously showing expressions of fear, and even the three mid-stage Jindan cultivators had solemn faces and subconsciously stiffened their bodies. It was like an ordinary person encountering a tiger. The tiger suddenly appeared, and humans were instantly suppressed and unable to move in front of this ferocious beast. This was a kind of shock and pressure from the depths of the soul!

Roar——

The strange beast roared to the sky, the sound was sharp and piercing, and the mine cave seemed to collapse. He was probably excited. At this moment, he could not be described as "he", but "it". This thing was not a human, but like a beast, even more ferocious and terrifying than a beast.

Moreover, the sound spread, directly hitting everyone's mind. Everyone's mind was instantly like a tumbling sea. Apart from other things, Liao Qing and others couldn't stand it on the spot, and vomited directly. Fang Silin was almost the same, but Fang Silin was obviously a little weird. His face was not right, but he was obviously holding on.

Zhang Zhiwen was also a little surprised by the monster's roar, but it was just a little startling, not to the point of vomiting, and not even to the point of feeling too much. It was just like hearing the sound of firecrackers suddenly, and instinctively nervous for a while, and then nothing happened. He even felt that the sound was quite boring and dry. It was estimated that the monster's throat was not well moistened...

But having said that, Zhang Zhiwen did not dare to be careless. He quickly retreated to prevent the monster from staring at him. Anyway, the monster could sense his reincarnated soul, so he tried to avoid it to avoid misunderstandings. Then he, Zhang Zhiwen, was used as a gun by others. Anyway, there were three other Jindan mid-stage cultivators to support them. They were tall and strong. If the sky was about to fall, they would definitely have to support it first. The three Jindan mid-stage cultivators did not expect that the monster's casual roar would actually come with a mental attack. They were also a little unsteady in their Tao hearts when the monster roared, and their whole bodies trembled subconsciously.

However, the monster did not roar for long, and suddenly became excited. It saw so many cultivators gathered together, and it felt like it saw a bunch of delicious food. Therefore, after it roared, it suddenly killed the three Jindan mid-stage cultivators.

There are quite a few people here, about ten or so, but there is a reason why the monster first went to these three Jindan mid-stage cultivators. One reason is that the three Jindan mid-stage cultivators are the closest to it, and the other is that they are the strongest, which means that they are the most delicious in the eyes of the monster. Sure enough, the monster can speak, and everyone knows what is going on as soon as he speaks.

"Hey, Jindan mid-stage... OK, I like Jindan mid-stage cultivators the most, and it's best to come to Jindan late-stage cultivators... Hehe..."

The monster spoke in a low voice and seemed to be very depressed, but the monster was extremely fast and appeared in front of a male cultivator in an instant. This male cultivator was one of the three Jindan mid-stage cultivators, and the monster's speed was incredibly fast, almost like teleportation, which can only be done by Yuanying cultivators. Even Zhang Zhiwen's flashing technique can't be so precise. It's hard to say where he flashed to, but this monster is not. It directly disappeared from the spot with the power of its physical body, and when it appeared again, it appeared directly in front of the male cultivator.

At the same time, the monster opened its mouth and bit the male cultivator. This bite seemed simple, but Zhang Zhiwen, who was standing far away, was very clear about the characteristics of this monster. Whenever it attacked, it would definitely be accompanied by a strong mental attack. Sure enough, although the male cultivator used defensive Taoist magic and raised his hand to prepare to use offensive Taoist magic, his offensive Taoist magic was obviously not yet used, and the whole process came to an abrupt end. He just stared at the monster in front of him with wide eyes, and watched the monster bite him. He couldn't even move, and blood oozed directly from his ears, nose and throat, and his whole body was stiff on the spot.

A mid-stage Jindan cultivator, facing a strange beast, and a strange beast that had just mutated, he had no power to resist on the spot. The two mid-stage Jindan cultivators around him didn't know what was going on. Anyway, they saw that their teammates were frozen, and they were naturally extremely shocked.

"No! Get out of the way!"

"Third brother, get out of the way!"

This man and woman cultivators should be brothers and sisters with this male cultivator, which is normal. At this moment, they have no time to stop anything, and can only shout for the male cultivator to get out of the way.

But then they heard a "puff" sound, and the monster bit the male cultivator's neck on the spot. This bite directly bit the male cultivator's neck and almost broke it. Blood splattered, and then the body twitched violently, but this was not over yet. The monster clawed out, and with a "puff", the male cultivator's human pill was directly taken out by it. Then the monster excitedly and excitedly chirped and screamed. This strange cry made people shudder, and it couldn't wait to stuff the human pill into its mouth and swallow it. The blood splattered and overflowed from the corners of its mouth, dyeing most of the monster's face red, like a demon from hell, and the weird and evil eyes whizzed at the other two Jindan mid-stage cultivators!
